Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair all day, because it keeps you busy but gets you nowhere.

Joyce Meyer

Americans have a taste for…rocking-chairs. A flippant critic might suggest that they select rocking-chairs so that, even when they are sitting down, they need not be sitting still. Something of this restlessness in the race may really be involved in the matter; but I think the deeper significance of the rocking-chair may still be found in the deeper symbolism of the rocking-horse. I think there is behind all this fresh and facile use of wood a certain spirit that is childish in the good sense of the word; something that is innocent, and easily pleased.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

I am a boring loner. I enjoy Friday nights at home in my rocking chair with no arms, rocking and relaxing. It's not uncommon for Netflix to be involved. Records are a possibility, but most of it is spent in silence.

Valerie June

[On her 101-year-old sister and herself, at 103:] We have a lot to do ... People don't understand this. They think we're sitting around in rocking chairs, which isn't at all true. Why, we don't even own a rocking chair.

Sarah Louise Delany

Until, accustomed to disappointments, you can let yourself rule and be ruled by these strings or emanations that connect everything together, you haven't fully exorcised the demon of doubt that sets you in motion like a rocking horse that cannot stop rocking.

John Ashbery

Women are more sensitive, more practical, more intelligent, more balanced, better able to deal with people, better cooks, better parents, better carers, better leaders, and so on and so forth.

Craig Brown

Use crazy glue and nails to turn a rocking chair into just a chair that looks like a rocking chair.

Demetri Martin

There's no difference between rocking in front of a crowd or rocking in front of a camera.

Redman

I'm not really rocking with mixtapes no more. EPs and albums - that's it.

A Boogie wit da Hoodie

Who is getting more pleasure from this rocking, the baby or me?

Nancy Thayer

Back when I was in high school, I came out onstage with my guitar and had four guys playing behind me. We were just playing a dance, but I was standing in front of an audience rocking out. I'm still rocking out like when I was a kid. I haven't changed.

Dion DiMucci

Nowadays, people are so jeezled up. If they took some chamomile tea and spent more time rocking on the porch in the evening listening to the liquid song of the hermit thrush, they might enjoy life more.

Tasha Tudor

We feel more comfortable rocking a comedy room as opposed to laughing it up with a rock crowd.

Kyle Gass

During games, I love a Twitter-rocking dunk as much as the next NBA nut. But now, I'd slightly rather see a crowd-detonating (or crowd-silencing) 3-pointer, either off four or five whip-whip passes or (even better) off a steal and a one-on-two pull-up on a solo fast break. No shot in basketball can be more psychologically devastating.

Skip Bayless

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who ski better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.
